Media Reviews
The most spectacular, gripping and wickedly entertaining piece of lese-majeste that British theatre has ever seen... blessed with wit, clarity and moments of deeper feeling. Outstanding and provocative... There is barely a moment when the fizz goes out of the writing and the narrative keeps springing surprises.... tremendous. - Telegraph
Bold, brilliant and unstoppably entertaining... all the intrigue and forward momentum of a real history play. The grandeur too... King Charles III makes us care, makes us laugh, and no doubt will make us argue too. Theatre doesn't get much better than this. - The Times
A meaty, hilarious, dizzyingly audacious state of the nation political thriller... elevates the tawdriness of the Royal soap opera into something sublime and serious... a thrilling working through of ideas about modern Britain. - Time Out (London)
Immensely enjoyable....convincingly plausible... remarkable and thought provoking. - What's On Stage
Wonderfully original... Bartlett's brilliant text pulses with Shakespearean resonances... a right royal triumph. - The Stage
